ABSTRACT

The present invention provides a system and method for restructuring of one or more applications. The invention includes a syntax data library having components enabling creation of one or more logical flow blocks by the AI engine. The logical flow blocks are structured on an extension tool interface to restructure the one or more applications for executing one or more SCM operations.

BACKGROUND 1. Technical Field

The present invention relates generally to enterprise applications developed with codeless platform. More particularly, the invention relates to systems and methods for restructuring of one or more applications.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Enterprise applications support multiple functions for any organization depending on the requirements. These requirements keep changing from one organization to another and each organization requires certain customization capabilities. However, it is impractical for a service provider to accommodate such customization of the application every time a new entity raises a distinct operational requirement.

Since, every organization may have a unique operational requirement, it is tedious to incorporate required changes in the enterprise application (EA) for the service provider. Further, the service provider may have to redesign the structure of the application to accommodate such requirements which is extremely time consuming, and in some instances, it may impact other functions being executed through the enterprise application due to processing errors. Redesigning of the application may also require halting of other processes in the EA to avoid conflict with existing process flows especially in case of complex EA such as procurement and supply chain applications. In addition to the above, any restructuring of the application would require a skilled developer to modify existing complex EA scenarios at system backend which may is tedious as the developer may understand only certain sections of the EA.

Even with codeless development of applications to overcome some of the above problems the architecture remains unsupportive in multiple aspects. Moreover, it is impossible to pre-empt every possible functionality required by an organization. Even with application supported through codeless development platform, it is the dynamically changing operational requirements that drive the structuring of the EA and related flows for enabling execution of the required operation. Certain aspects, of the EA functions needs to be driven by the organization itself as the service provider may not be able to deliver all such required process flow modification swiftly every time. However, the applications developed with codeless platform also have limited capabilities and do not provide any mechanism for enabling the organization itself to create or recreate workflows based on dynamically changing requirements. Some application may use reusable code objects for executing codeless development, but these codes are restricted in their functionality due to underlining architecture. None of the prior arts address the structural complexity and technical issues in executing functions through an enterprise application that are initiated by an organizational user through the codeless platform supported by the service provider with limited capabilities.

In view of the above problems, there is a need for a platform architecture, system and method that enable restructuring of enterprise applications and overcome the problems associated with the prior arts.

In an embodiment the present invention provides one or more SCM enterprise application with an admin user application UI and a citizen developer user application UI for structuring the interface to carry out the required operations.

The layered platform architecture enables a developer user to write code in a true layered manner, so developing each layer becomes a delightful and an easier proposition for developers and system builders/architects. The layered platform further reduces complexity as the layers are build one upon another thereby providing high levels of abstraction, making it extremely easy to build complex features for the SCM application.

In one embodiment, the system with the codeless platform provides the cloud agnostic data layer 101 as a bottom layer of the architecture. This layer provides a set of micro-services that collectively enable discovery, lookup and matching of storage capabilities to needs for execution of operational requirement.

Further, the layer manages connection pooling and communication with the underlying storage provider and automatically scales and de-scaling the underlying storage infrastructure to support operational growth demands. The configurable components of the data layer enable execution of operations related to data layer.

This layer provides a set of microservices that execute the tasks of managing code deployment, supporting code versioning, deployment (gradual roll out of new code) etc. The layer collectively enables creation and management of smart forms (and templates), framework to define UI screens, controls etc. through use of templates. Seamless theming support is built to enable specific form instances (created at runtime) to have personalized themes, extensive customization of the user experience (UX) for each client entity and or document. The set of microservices of foundation layer are the only way any higher layer microservice can talk to the data layer microservices.

The service orchestration understands different document types, hierarchy and chaining of the documents etc.

In an embodiment, the system 100 provides the application layer 104 on top of the shared framework layer 103 of the codeless platform architecture. The application user or admin user of the platform will interact with the application layer 103 for structuring the SCM application. This is also the first layer, that defines SCM specific documents such as requisitions, contracts, orders, invoices etc. This layer provides a set of microservices to support creation of documents (requisition, order, invoice, etc.), support the interaction of the documents with other documents (ex: invoice matching, budget amortization, etc.) and provide differentiated operational/functional value for the documents in comparison to a competition by using artificial intelligence and machine learning. This layer also enables execution of complex operational/functional use cases involving the documents.

In an embodiment, the system 100 provides the customization layer 105 as the topmost layer of the codeless platform architecture above the application layer 104. This layer provides microservices enabling end users to write codes to customize the operational flows as well as the end user application UI to execute the operations of SCM. The end user can orchestrate the objects exposed by the application layer 104 to build custom functionality, to enable nuanced and complex workflows that are specific to the end user operational requirement or a third-party implementation user.

In an embodiment, the codeless platform of the system 100 includes components such as tenant configurator, package version management, release manager, deployment manager and infrastructure configurator as part of package management. These components provide window for citizen developer and platform developer to release the packages and provide visibility of the deployment pipeline. The tenant configurator enables deployment of packages to one or more clients across environments. It provides ability to create and manage details of customers through UI. It gives deployment experience through projects and environments to support the tenant concept. The Version management component manages multiple versions of the packages and changes made by application developers and platform developers. The component provides UI to look at multiple versions of the package and compare versions. It manages minor and major versions. The release manager component is responsible for managing, planning, scheduling, and controlling delivery throughout the release lifecycle using other subcomponents and for Orchestrating entire pipeline with automation. The deployment manager component configures and run delivery workflows for applications and platforms. It Creates standardized deployment process to deploy predictable, high-quality releases.
